i want to bring it to your attention, the issue is the fact that the food and safety authorities in china were testing chicken that was supplied to cfc restaurants for excessive antibiotics there. the finding by the shanghai food and drug administration is, of course, a blow to kfc's reputation in china. they are already experiencing a lot of competition there. the update on this story is that yum has since issued a statement saying that they are cooperating with the government's review of these two poultry suppliers, and as such they do not anticipate to see a shortage of product supply. as you can see from the chart, we were down about 4% from yum. >> all right, thank you so much. we are waiting on president obama's statement on the state of negotiations in washington. the president is meeting right now with majority leader harry reid. they're meeting now, and at 5:00 p.m. eastern we are told the president will make a statement, which we will carry live for you right here on cnbc. keep it here as we take you live to the white house with the president. coming up, my observation on what t

china ma and japan. and i think you can start to nibble a little on china and japan, as well. >> michael, is there an argument to be made that you don't want to touch stocks right now until you have some clarity on this fiscal cliff? just in case we see a big sell-off? >> there is, but i'll argue, too, that you're talking about $600 billion being sucked out of the economy next year. the s&p made $20 trillion. while we are looking at the fiscal cliff countdown, there is another countdown to new all-year highs when the dow is close to the prior peak around 600% from here. investors should be looking overseas. you want to look where there is no fiscal cliff equivalent, primarily in emerging markets. but nonpartisan analysts have pointed out that if we go over the cliff and take that $600 billion with it, we go back to recession. how do you justify going into stocks and going into all-time highs if we go back to recession? >> that assumes all else being equal, the problem is you look at europe, it's recoveri

where is that coming from because i see china coming back a little, maybe europe's done going down, we seem to be a little bit stalled. somebody's building something around this world. >> i think it's a matter of jabil being very competitive in the markets that we serve and having sufficient diversification so that if one part of our business, for instance networking or telecommunications may be going through a lull or a slower period with government spending and business spending, capital spending down, we have some other parts of our business that are doing extremely well. you mentioned some of the mechanics business we're involved in which we call our materials technology group. that has nothing to do with electronics so we don't have to sell any electronic hardware for those businesses to perform well. parts of our business really are a reflection of the economy and other parts of our business are growing very robustly. so i'm very hopeful for the balance of the year and, you know, i think the company is diversified enough to take advantage of whatever opportunities are out there.
